ASSIGNMENT 1
1. Make a tour of Learning Materials 1. They present a very turbulent period in the History of England (was there a calm and quiet period there?): Kings quarreling with Parliament, Charles I being executed (for the firat and last (?) time in English history!), Cromwell, initially ardent anti-monarchist! - becomes a dictator and then again the history makes a sharp turn and English Monarchy became restored! Was there any logic in all that? Is the course of history logical ever? Think about it and share your ideas in Discussion
